| Death* | 8 March 2021 | He died on 8 March 2021 at Accomack Co, VA, at age 82. Willie Crockett, the witty and homespun Tangier Island native whose captivating watercolor paintings and well-told stories made him one of the Eastern Shore of Virginia’s most celebrated artists, died on Monday. He was 82. The cause of death and funeral arrangements were not immediately available. He is survived by his wife, Iris, and five children, among other relatives. With his tall frame, gray beard, balding head and piercing eyes, Crockett cut a figure that would have looked at home in the gray skies and salt marsh featured in many of the coastal landscapes he painted since opening his Onancock gallery in 1969. He also had a fondness for the written and spoken word, acting out Shakespearean scenes with adults on Tangier Island as a youth, and writing poignant and humorous poetry that he would read for paying audiences later in life. Crockett’s sheer artistic talent, Tangier accent and natural storytelling ability made him a darling of the media, with the late Salisbury, Md., newsman Scorchy Tawes once calling Crockett his favorite interview. He was extensively profiled by news organizations and magazines, and on television shows. Earlier this year he was the subject of an hour-long documentary film. Along the way, the ruggedly handsome Crockett essentially became the quintessential Eastern Shoreman — hunting and fishing when he wanted, meeting guests at his gallery, enjoying a weekly card game, and painting. “People ask, ‘When are you going to retire?’” Crockett said in a 2017 interview. “I say, ‘From what?’” Born on Tangier Island, Crockett was heavily influenced by the talented storytellers there and the community’s religious bearing. He then went to a Bible college in South Carolina, taught for a year and lived on the West Coast for seven years, serving as a minister. “Eventually my religious beliefs changed and my whole philosophy of life changed,” he said. He left the ministry. Having always enjoyed sketching, he took art lessons, and moved back to the Eastern Shore to paint the solitude, nature and nuance of local life. Crockett came to embody the Eastern Shore resident who trades the prospect of fame and fortune elsewhere for a lifestyle here. “‘I’ve lived in cities but I don’t like them,” he said. “I could make more money if I were up in the (Washington) D.C. area, but I’d be in D.C., and who wants to do that?” “My mother said one time, ‘Why don’t you get you a good desk job?’ I said, ‘Because there’s no such thing as a good desk job.’” By Ted Shockley.2 |

John Lewis (I)1
M, b. 1619, d. 3 March 1696/97
| Charts | Ancestors of Mary Frances Carey | |
| Last Edited | 8 Oct 2017 |
| Birth* | 1619 | John was born in 1619 at London, England. Some sources show John Lewis (1619-1697), who came to Accomack Co, VA, was a son of John Lewis & Joan Powell of London, England. The MilesFiles showed this as well up thru version 16.3 (19 Aug 2016). But now it seems with all the John Lewises being born in London during this period, there is no direct proof that the John who came to Accomack Co, VA was a son of John Lewis & Joan Powell..2 |
| Baptism | 27 June 1619 | He was baptized on 27 June 1619 at St. Martin's in-the-Fields, London, England.1 |
| Anecdote* | 1632 | In 1998 Robert J.C.K. Lewis showed that John Lewis (1619-1697) married Mary Gardner in London in 1632 and that he came to Acc Co, VA by 1636. He cites his earlier work referred to as A Brief History of the Lewis Family of Accomac Co, VA (1619-1971), Washington, DC 1972 and the research of Mark C. Lewis located at the Eastern Shore Public Library at Accomac, VA. However, both of these references show John Lewis of Accomack Co, VA has having only a wife Lucretia, who was by inference Lucretia Pott. The MilesFiles, up thru version 16.3 (19 Aug 2016), was based on Robert Lewis' work. But it now seems unlikely that this John Lewis married first at age 13 and that there was no second wife, and that Lucretia was his only wife and mother of all of his chidren.1 |
| Immigrated* | 21 August 1635 | John immigrated on 21 August 1635. After examination as to their religion by the Minister of Gravesend, England, Jo. Lewis, age 16, and 57 others were to be transported to Virginia in the THOMAS, Henry Taverner, Master..3,4 |
| Headright* | 20 June 1636 | He was named as a headright on 20 June 1636 at tract N3, Northampton Co, VA. He was shown as John Lewis on a certificate for 100 acres of land granted to John Furbush.5,6 |
| Anecdote | circa 1640 | For a number of years John Lewis (A108) was in the employ of John Neale, and after that of Colonel Edmund Scarburgh. He was a contemporary of Richard Hill of A86, across the creek, and at times each of them was an overseer of Colonel Scarburgh, who seemed to hold both in high regard and when they were ready for patents of their own, the colonel perhaps assisted the two friends to take up the lands across the creek from each other.5 |
| Marriage* | circa 1651 | He married Lucretia Pott circa 1651. According to Whitelaw, John Lewis' wife was named Lucretia, but it has seemed impossible to identify her correctly; Mark C. Lewis, a descendant and the present authority on the Lewis clan, thinks by inference she may have been a Lucretia Pott, who was on the Shore at about the right time to fit that theory. In his will, he mentioned no daughters, but it is almost certain that he had at least one, who at the time may have been dead; she was Mary, first the wife of Isaac Dix (A103) and then the wife of William Groten. There were Dix children, but as they had been well provided for, Lewis may not have thought it necessary to leave them anything..1,5 |
| Oath to England* | 30 March 1651 | John Lewis (I) took the oath of allegiance to hereby engage and promise to be true and faithful to the Commonwealth of England as it is now established without King or House of Lords on 30 March 1651 at Northampton Co, VA. He was shown as John Lewis.7 |
| Age was stated* | 20 August 1654 | His age was stated on 20 August 1654 at Accomack Co, VA. He was shown as Jno Lewis, age 35, when he states he had been a servant of Mr. John Neale about 15 or 16 years ago. Because of a debt owed by Neale to merchants of London, his cattle were taken from him and turned over to Col. Edmund Scarburgh. He had since entered the service of Col. Scarburgh as an overseer.2,8 |
| Deposition* | 30 January 1654/55 | He gave a deposition on 30 January 1654/55 at Northampton Co, VA. He was shown as John Lewis, saying that in 1652 he had been overseer of Mr. Scarburgh's servants at Occahannock.9 |
| Land bought* | 1658 | He bought land in 1658 at tract A54, north of Harborton, Accomack Co, VA. George Freshwater sold 300 acres of this tract to John Lewis, saying he had bought it from Mrs. Ann Gardner. Nothing more was found recorded about Lewis and it probably was recovered by Charles Scarburgh as a part of the total 3,050 acres contained in this tract.10 |

The 20 persons included Tho. Ryle, Jno Rhodes, Jno Creamer, Eliz. Doughty, Tho. Smith, Jno. Willis, Jno. Browne, Edw. Ward, Robt. Yallop, Gartrad Morkey, Clemt. Onely, Wm. Clavator, Susan Berry, Edw.

| Land patented | 1666 | He patented land in 1666 at A105, south of Parksley, Accomack Co, VA. It contained 500 acres. It may have been taken out by John Lewis of A108 for his son John, but apparently he had never seated the land, and in 1673 the patent was reissued to Arthur Frame as having been deserted by Leiws.19 |

Mary Gardner
F, b. circa 1610
| Last Edited | 24 Dec 2019 |
| Birth* | circa 1610 | Mary was born circa 1610. |
| Marriage* | 24 July 1632 | She married John Lewis on 24 July 1632 at St. Martin's in-the-Fields, London, England. In 1998 Robert J.C.K. Lewis showed that John Lewis (1619-1697) married Mary Gardner in London in 1632 and that he came to Acc Co, VA by 1636. He cites his earlier work referred to as A Brief History of the Lewis Family of Accomac Co, VA (1619-1971), Washington, DC 1972 and the research of Mark C. Lewis located at the Eastern Shore Public Library at Accomac, VA. However, both of these references show John Lewis of Accomack Co, VA has having only a wife Lucretia, who was by inference Lucretia Pott. The MilesFiles, up thru version 16.3 (19 Aug 2016), was based on Robert Lewis' work. But it now seems unlikely that this John Lewis married first at age 13 and that there was no second wife, and that Lucretia was his only wife and mother of all of his chidren..1 |
| Married Name | 24 July 1632 | As of 24 July 1632,her married name was Lewis. |

In another edition of his book Robert Lewis shows he was possibily the same as Richard Lewis of Cecil Co, MD, who married Anna (-----) and had Richard Jr. of St. John's Manor, Cecil Co, MD and John, who married Martha (-----) and had John Jr. who married (H)Ester, daughter of John Pennington. However, since a John Lewis of Richard, age 15, was bound out in 1720 in Accomack Co, VA it seems more likely that this Richard Lewis did not leave Accomack Co, VA.1 |

| Marriage* | circa 1651 | She married John Lewis (I) circa 1651. According to Whitelaw, John Lewis' wife was named Lucretia, but it has seemed impossible to identify her correctly; Mark C.

In his will, he mentioned no daughters, but it is almost certain that he had at least one, who at the time may have been dead; she was Mary, first the wife of Isaac Dix (A103) and then the wife of William Groten. There were Dix children, but as they had been well provided for, Lewis may not have thought it necessary to leave them anything..1,2 |

Richard Hill summoned a jury of inquest to investigate the death of a bastard child born to Elizabeth Man, who was "privately delivered thereof contrary to law." The jury found several injuries on the child, so it was ordered that the sheriff take Eliz. Man into custody till the next court, where she was to appear for further questioning. Ordered that Mary Aires, Mary Finlow, An Brown, and Christian Blacklock be summoned to testify. The jury's verdict concerning a bastard child born to Elizabeth Man, who reported that it was stillborn: the child was injured on the left breast and in the mouth, and since Eliz. Man was delivered privately, they questioned her "for further light", as they did the reputed father, Peter Booty, who was the first person that came into the house. The jury found that their stories varied.

John Drumond "being present in court did declare after the manner of the Quakers in ye presence of God that he writ the said will and saw the same sealed & delivered and published as the act & deed of the testator." Mr. Nicholas Hill had died since witnessing the will, but the court compared handwriting and proved his signature. However, since Capt.

Lewis prayed that the said will might be put on record."6 |

| Biography | 1621 | John Potts or Pott was a physician and Colonial Governor of Virginia at the Jamestown settlement. John is said to have taken his masters degree at Oxford University in 1605. He was recommended as physician to the Virginia Company of London. In the minutes of the Virginia Company of July 16, 1621, is the following entry: "For so much as the Phisicons place to the Company was now become voyde by reason of the untimely death of Dr. Bohune, slaine in the fight with two Spanish Shipps of Warr the 19th of March last, Dr. Gulstone did now take occasion to recommend unto the Company for the said place one Mr. Potts, a Master of Arts, well practised in Chirurgerie and Physique, and expert also in distillinge of waters." John and his wife, perhaps named Elizabeth or Anne, sailed from London aboard the George in March 1619. The George was a 150-ton sailing vessel with William Ewen as the master. After a two-month passage the vessel arrived in Jamestown, VA in May 1619. In 1623 John gained notoriety as the individual who prepared the poison served the Native Americans during a "peace ceremony" at Jamestown, killing 200 of them in retaliation for the Indian Massacre of 1622 which killed nearly a third of the colonists the preceding year. In 1625, he was commissioned a member of the Governor's Council, in which office he continued a number of years. In 1628 he was chosen Governor and held the position from 1629 until the early part of 1630, when, being accused of stealing cattle, he was removed. Pott(s) was convicted for cattle theft by the Council on 9 Jul 1630. John's plantation was called "Harrop," perhaps in honor of his ancestral home because Harrop in Cheshire, England was the residence of some Potts at that time. This plantation, patented in 1631, may also be related to Harrop Parish established in James City Co, VA in 1644. On 12 Jul 1632 John obtained a patent for 1,200 acres at the head of Archer's Hope Creek. Part of this land was to become a fortified palisade across the peninsula. In Feb 1633 the General Assembly enacted that a fortieth part of the men in "the compasse of the forest" east of Archer's Hope and Queen's Creek to Chesapeake Bay - essentially all of the lower peninsula - should be present "before the first day of March next" at Dr. John Potts' plantation, "newlie built," to erect houses and secure the land in that quarter. With this labor, palisades six miles long were run from creek to creek, and on the ridge between a settlement called Middle Plantation was built. The ridge between the creeks was well drained and the deep ravines penetrating from the north and south made the site strategic. The only road down the peninsula was over this ridge, and this road was easily defended. The town of Middle Plantation was renamed Williamsburg, VA in 1699.4 |
| Biography* | 1621 | Dr. John Pott, the colony's physician-general, came to Virginia in 1621(sic) (1620) on the George with his wife, Elizabeth, and incoming governor, Sir Francis Wyatt. Pott was accompanied by two servants and two surgeons. Dr. Pott, who was described as an expert in the distillation of waters and was "well practiced in surgery and physics," replaced the late Dr. Lawrence Bohun (Bohune, Bohunne). The Virginia Company furnished Dr. Pott with a chest of medicines, medical books, and som of the provisions and equipment he needed to become established in the colony. Pott was named a provisional councilor and, as physician, was supposed to receive 500 acres of office land and 20 tenants, who were to help him build a house as soon as possible. As no office land had been laid out for the colony's physician, on August 11, 1624, Pott patented a 3-acre lot in urban Jamestown, where he built a home. He placed some of servants on his land in Jamestown and seated the rest on his leasehold on the Governor's Land. Treasurer George Sandys made some scathing comments about Dr. John Pott, whom he described as a "pitiful counselor" and unintelligent. Sandys said that Pott enjoyed the company of his inferiors, who clung to him as long as his good liquor lasted. Pott had some serious ethical problems. In 1626 he was sued by Richard Townsend, an indentured servant, who claimed that Pott had agreed to teach him the apothecary's art but refused to. Jane Dickinson of Martin's Hundred, who was captured during the 1622 Indian attack and detained for nearly a year, claimed that although Dr. Pott had redeemed her with some glass beads, he kept her in greater slavery than the Indians had. Some indentured servants got into trouble for killing a calf and dressing it in a house belonging to Dr. Pott, seemingly with his knowledge. In 1624 Dr. John Pott was described as unfit to serve as a councilor because he was implicated in poisoning a group of Indians who had gathered to sign a peace treaty. As a result of this transgression, he was removed from office. When a census was made on February 16, 1624, Dr. John Pott headed a Jamestown household that included his wife Elizabeth, and six servants, including Jane Dickinson (the widow from Martin's Hundred) and Fortune Taylor (a young, marriageable maid who came to the colony in 1621). On January 24, 1625, the Pott household in Jamestown included Dr. and Mrs. Pott and four servants. Dr. Pott was credited with two houses and a herd of livestock that included cattle, swine, and goats. The family also had a better-than-average supply of provisions and defensive weaponry. Dr. John Pott made several appearances in court during 1624 and 1625. He testified in lawsuits, and from time to time he had to defend himself from the accusations of his neighbors. In 1624 he was obliged to resolve a dispute with Captain William Holmes, from whom he had agreed to buy three chests of physic, and in May 1625 he had to address the allegations of his neighbor, Mrs. Margaret Blany, who claimed that he had killed one of her hogs and the refused to share the meat. Pott justified his actions by saying that his neighbors' hogs had damaged his approximately 12 acres of corn, even though they were enclosed with a fence. During 1624 Dr. Pott was given an opportunity to lease part of the College Land at Henrico for five years but declined to do so, and he tried to resolve a dispute between two people over a rental house in eastern Jamestown Island. He also testified about Roger Dilke, Thomas Wilson, and a confrontation between Captain John Harvey and an indentured servant. Pott went to court in an attempt to force Randall Holt I, one of his own servants, to stay a little longer. Pott provided medical treatment to the sick and injured and sometimes had difficulty collecting payment. In July 1625 he had Jamestown merchant John Crew imprisoned for indebtedness, and he went to court to recover corn and tobacco from Richard Peirce, also of the capital city. One member of the Pott household during 1628 was a boat-builder William Bennett, who agreed to construct a vessel for Dr. Pott in exhange for room, board, and the materials he needed. On September 10, 1627, Dr. Pott was authorized to add 9 acres to his Jamestown lot and received a patent of 12 acres on September 20, 1628. He apparently had problems obtaining (and perhaps retaining) the cattle to which he was entitled as part of his official stipend. In 1626, after the dissolution of the Virginia Company, he was required to procure written verification from Treasurer George Sandys for former Governor Francis Wyatt that he was entitled to all of the cattle in his possession. He also learned that if resigned his position as physician-general or died, his estate would be liable for replacing the animals. In March 1629 Pott's fellow councilors elected him deputy governor. He sent William Claiborne into the Chesapeake on a voyage of exploration and authorized him to trade with the Dutch and other English colonies. He also placed Claiborne in command of the forces sent out against the Indians. Pott appointed local commissioners to try minor court cases, and he attempted to strengthen the colony's defenses. He patented 200 acres of Skiff's Creek and some acreage in Harrop, seven miles from Jamestown. However, when Sir John Harvey arrived in the colony to assume the governorship, he promptly placed Dr. John Pott under house-arrest at Harrop for pardoning a known murderer and because he had been accused of stealing some cattle. Two months later, Harvey asked the king to pardon Dr. Pott because he was "skilled in epidemical diseases." Meanwhile, Mrs. Elizabeth Pott, steadfastly loyal to her husband, went to England to assert his innocence. During the early 1630s Dr. Pott's relationship with Governor Harvey continued to deteriorate. According to Secretary Richard Kemp, Pott was angry because Harvey had removed his brother, Francis, as commander of the fort at Old Point Comfort. In April 1635, when Harvey was arrested by his councilors, Dr. John Pott was one of the prime movers. Richard Kemp's eyewitness account of Governor Harvey's arrest in Pott's presence reveals that he as alive in April 1635. The date of his death is uncertain.5 |
